When was the last time you were inconvenienced by a slow, unreliable stock charger? Let us know your stories below!

The local museum were doing a banksy presentation, and they suggested a couple days I should go, as were quieter (I'd called up and asked how it worked for disabled visitors, due to average queue waiting times were up to 3 hrs) and this day was one of the last couple days.

It was a race between my phone's charger k camera charger (little thing to charge the battery) and my phone charger.

Depending which charged first, was what I was going to take.

Despite 2 hrs charge on both, it was approaching 1pm, and neither were going to be ready in a good time... I had to get the bus to town, and town to the museum... So wanted to leave at 13:30/45. Leaving then I should be there just after 14:30 and the exhibition took atmleast 2 ½hrs to walk around.

So had to cancel it for that day. Instead going on the final suggested day, which would be the last actual day.

So I nearly missed going to the exhibition. In the end I took my phone, as the camera battery didn't want to charge??? (Solved it later... Had to bend the terminals).

Considering it was the only time, at the time he had done an exhibition like this, with some items being done just for this event.

So my phone charger (and also my camera charger) let me down, as I wouldn't have left the house for another hour or so. Too late to be able to enjoy the "show" and take it all in.

I could have done with a fast charge then, as I could now to be honest.... Current phone battery 4100 and don't I know it... Charging at the moment from 50% taking 2 ½ hrs.
